Page "Syon Monastery" Paragraph 11

The foundation charter states: We we will and decree that it shall be called “ The Monastery of St Saviour and St Bridget of Syon, of the Order of St Augustine ” through all successive ages.

( Monasterium in the original Latin ).

It is interesting to note that this name was quoted slightly differently by the Abbess and Convent in their petition of 1431 as “' The Monastery of St Saviour and the Saints Mary the Virgin and Bridget of Syon of the Order of St Augustine and of St Saviour ”.

The funerary brass of Agnes Jordan, Syon's last pre-reformation Abbess, describes her as “ Sometyme abbesse of the monasterye of Syon ”.
